Sure, MLC write life is worse than SLC, but significantly better than TLC and QLC

-edit: this comment was purely focused at your first sentence:

>The fastest SSDs tend to also be MLC which tend to have much lower write life vs other technologies.

I'm not sure what you mean with "other technologies" in this case, SLC is indeed truly expensive for a significantly higher write life, and HDDs are debatable for their lifespan.


The word you're looking for is plant-based. There is no such thing as a traffic-light vegan.


But then aren't they by definition not at a calorie deficit?


Correct, if your BMR lowers drastically due to sustained increased insulin levels, then you're not at a deficit. However, most doctors are not trained to know that this is what is happening. Every BMR calculator will tell you that you are burning X number of calories, but the only way to verify that is with an expensive lab test that is generally reserved for athletes or extremely ill individuals. So instead, the doctor assumes that the patient must be lying about their calorie intake.

There are "symptoms" for a lowered BMR, feeling cold being chief among them as lowering blood circulation is an easy way for the body to slow down. Mental fog is can be another sign as our brain is the most calorically demanding organ in our entire body.

This model of hormonal driven weight loss/gain is fairly new and just now being studied at scale. Hopefully as time passes, doctors will become better educated and can advise their patients on how best to structure their diet to make their bodies work for them instead of against them.

I highly recommend watching some lectures by Dr Jason Fung about the issue in depth. There are a few on YouTube that are 45+ minutes in length and describe the situation more thoroughly. The TL;DW though is this: if insulin levels are high, the body cannot release stored fat. Eating raises insulin. If you eat all the time, your body will always have high insulin levels and cannot release stored fat for energy and thus will look for other ways to equalize the calories in/out equation.

The fastest way to lose weight, is to simply not eat. It sounds so simple and obvious, yet we've lost sight of the plot in our modern world.


You’ll eventually lower your caloric intake on a keto diet the same way most people over consume calories in a carb heavy diet. It’s just a side effect of decreased food cravings and the obstacles inherent to the diet. You get sick of avacado and coconut oil pretty quickly if it’s all you get to eat. Calorie counting is a fiction mostly.


> Calorie counting is a fiction mostly.

it works, but in short bursts.

maybe if you've got enough money for a professional cook and meal planner a la hollywood types or billionaires.

i could do it for ~3 months while cutting during my bodybuilding days, for example. no way i could do it for the next 50 years of my life.


Body can start to decompose your protein tissues even if fat is there. So, eating your functional cells - muscles for example. It can also turn off less important functions like thermoregulation, impulse/mood control, slows the heartbeat, your activity levels, etc.


Or better, use `Shamir's Secret Sharing`

GP specifically called out, "don't try to get fancy with crypto" and I'm inclined to agree with them for this use case.


>Say goodbye to all the time spent mentoring junior engineers, soon you won't have any

and then slowly we run out of seniors with nobody to replace them


you forgot to mention the ads and crypto


I don't think the military will care if your open source library contains a "not for military purposes" restriction; and there is practically no way for you to verify.


The moment it's available on linux/android, I will


"Over 50% of young Danes admit to streaming or downloading content illegally"


Yeah, I figured that was extremely low. But maybe it's because content is much more easily available legally now. You can basically never run out of Netflix.

If you're asking the millennial generation however, the numbers should be near 100%.


You might not be able to run out of Netflix, but you will run out of the good content quite fast, especially if you only have the content available in $COUNTRY


Or possibly are aware they stream or download content illegally. Copyright infringement is so incredibly routine that people don’t even realize that’s what they’re doing.
